BLEACHING BLACK CULTURE(PRODUCER/DIRECTOR)

From the birth of jazz to the evolution of hip hop; the advents of urban trends to transformative advances in technology, African Americans have played an integral role in molding American culture. Unfortunately, they tend not be the beneficiaries of their own innovation. Bleaching Black Culture examines the continuum of America's black cultural appropriation and effects on the African American community. The imprint of cultural theft has a long legacy, and this power of influence in music, sports, fashion and art translates into millions of dollars for our country. Cultural branding has not only helped to exploit the hip-hop community along with other forms of black art; it's managed to monetize black marginalization. Currently, the Rhythm and Blues Billboard chart, a genre developed for the African American voice, is dominated with the likes of Robin Thicke, Justin Bieber, and Adele. Perhaps it's easier to sell black art when it's masked in "white face." Yet the argument with the latter comes from the 2013 African American consumer report. It shows black buying power rising from its current astonishing $1 trillion level to a forecasted $1.3 trillion by 2017.

SIDE PIECE(PRODUCER/DIRECTOR)

Moguldom Studios latest documentary 'Side Piece', explores the history, psychology and latest obsession with outside lovers and those who love them. To some men, having a woman without a side chick is like having a meal without a drink, and there are plenty of women who go along with this dynamic. While extra-marital affairs is a concept that dates back to Biblical days, the sudden explosion, acceptance and exploitation of "side pieces" has audiences questioning if this is the new norm. With top television shows such as Scandal, Being Mary Jane and Mistresses, the idea of a side piece has turned from shameful to flattering. Side chicks are becoming wives and the institution of marriage is slowly crumbling. Some psychologists will argue that monogamy is not a true characteristic of human behavior. In addition, monogamy is an unnatural discipline that must be learned. Though many would argue this point, the history and prevalence of side pieces certainly can be a testament to that theory. But in today's digital age and media-obsessed culture, side pieces are being held in high regard as 'boss chicks', receiving fame, money and power in return for juicy gossip and illicit details. Media's current obsession with cheating stories, has a new generation of young people asking, "are side pieces winning?" Side Piece takes a thought-provoking look at this new form of love and commitment, and solicits answers to the many questions surrounding this new way of loving and living.
